Letter from the Editor

Hello, readers of the St. Croix Valley!

It is our great pleasure to present the second issue of The Boom Site Literary Magazine. It has been wonderful to watch our magazine grow over the past few months. All of the submissions received for this issue were equally impressive as the first and we continue to be proud of mission as a youth-initiated, youth-centered publication.

As the seasons change, you'll notice us undergoing some changes as well! Our next issue will be a printed, hard-copy publication just in time for the holidays. Submissions for this issue will open next week — make sure to watch your emails and our Facebook page for more details!

Additionally, we are holding a contest to find our new logo! If you enjoy art, I highly recommend you enter this. The winner receives $100! Find out more information below.

Thank you for supporting your local youth literary magazine, and enjoy the prose and poetry!
